Question 1

What should I bring?

Accepted Answer

Your own picnic snacks and drinks, at least one book to swap (fantasy/romantasy encouraged!), a blanket or something comfy to sit on, sun cream, water, maybe even an umbrella to keep the rain away—fingers crossed for sun!

Question 2

Can I come solo?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Lots of people do—it’s a friendly, welcoming space, and we’ll help introduce you to others.

Question 3

Is this a formal event?

Accepted Answer

Not at all—just a relaxed, fun afternoon for readers to hang out and connect. Stay for a little or as long as you like.

Question 4

Is there a backup plan if it rains?

Accepted Answer

We'll monitor the weather and update you the day before. If there is sudden rain on the day, there is a Pear Tree Cafe we can duck into. If it looks like it will be a downpour, we’ll aim to move to a nearby pub.

Question 5

Can I bring my dog?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all well-behaved dogs are welcome. There will be at least one cavapoo in attendance (his name is Draco), who loves people and other dogs but shall also leave you alone if you wish!
